Love It or Leave

HEADS WILL ROLL! SO PROMISES BORIS YELTSIN IF officials in his government continue to oppose his reforms. In a nationally televised address 11 days after his strong showing in a national referendum, Yeltsin declared that those who do not share his aims "should simply leave," and called for new parliamentary elections by the fall. The President's prediction of a battle with the parliament over his new draft constitution, which would scrap the conservative Congress of People's Deputies, was immediately fulfilled: parliamentary leaders presented their own rival draft, specifically designed to limit the President's powers.

Meanwhile, hard-liners and security forces continued to blame each other for Moscow's May Day riots in which 600 people were injured. Communist demonstrators planned another rally Sunday to mark the World War II victory over the Nazis. But as law enforcers braced themselves for more violence, Yeltsin said he would not allow "a second civil war."
